AC3D 8.6.11 crash on importing .obj from DAZ Studio

I've looked at the problem .obj in notepad++, and nothing leaps out at me as a cause. Don't appear to be able to upload the problem file.

Please email me the file andy-at-ac3d.org and I'll take a look.

Done already - but I see your email has changed. I'll re send. Cheers.

But then maybe the email hasn't changed - so already done. Cheers

Can't see if you got me email with the file. I have been having some problems with erratic email sends.

Nothing came through. Did you zip the file? That will reduce the size considerably.

Sent again to andy@ac3d.org. It's only a 14KB file so size shouldn't be an issue.

Were you aware people can't PM you as your PM limit is full.

Please let me know if it still doesn't get through. My ISP has been a real problem for email unreliability recently.

Andy, I never heard anything on this issue, so I don't know if you ever got the files. I was chasing the issue down again today and it seems it's not the .obj file that's the problem but the .mtl file. The exporting program was loading it up with loads of irrelevant materials and it looks like that fatally cooks AC3D. If I substitute a .mtl with only the relevant materials, the import works.
